Abstract
Methyl bromide (CH3Br) has been used widely for extermination of Curculio skkimensis (Heller) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in chestnuts.
Based on the Montreal Protocol, the use of CH3Br is strictly limited because of its Ozone Depletion Potential.
After the regulation of the use of CH3Br, an alternative method is highly required to control Curculio skkimensis. Recent study suggested that it is possible to exterminate Curculio skkimensis by cold storage.
During the cold storage, sugar is accumulated in chestnuts.
Unfortunately, this method is not put to practical use because it is difficult to control high humidity at constant low temperature.
In this study, indirect cooling system (‘Hyou-zou-ko’) enables to maintain high humidity stably at low temperature was applied for storage of chestnuts.
The effect of high humidity and low temperature on the extermination of Curculio skkimensis, eating quality, and the accumulation of sugar in chestnuts were discussed.
